STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To
maximize the shelf life of perishable food products,
ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer
food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should
be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap,
bags ( do not seal ) and place in Vegetable crisper.
Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins e.g. or-
anges do not require wrapping.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer
packaging which informs the recommended tempera-
ture and shelf life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic
wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the
rear of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed
in an airtight container.

CARE AND CLEANING

Some household cleaning chemicals may affect the inside surfaces and plastic shelves resulting
in splitting or cracks occurring.
When cleaning all plastic parts inside this refrigerator, only use diluted dishwashing liquid(soapy
water). Make sure that all plastic parts are thoroughly rinsed with water after cleaning.
1.Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet
and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing
water; rinse in clean water and dry.
2.Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water.
3.Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is
soiled.
4.Clean Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
5.Evaporating pan should be removed and cleaned
once a year.
NOTE:
• Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water etc.
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not
wiped off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can re-
sult.
• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components
as they can cause cracking of the plastic surface.
• The glass shelves weighs approximately 3kg each.
Hold firmly when removing from the cabinet or carry-
ing.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Before you call for service, check the following point.
IT IS NORMAL
for the refrigerator to produce the
following sounds.
• Loud noise produced by the compressor when op-
eration starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while.
• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor
--- Operating sound produced immediately after au-
tomatic defrost operation.
• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound)
--- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may
become louder from time to time).
NOTE:
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to
circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot foods
increases the temperature in the unit and increases the risk of
food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air
circulating circuit with foods or containers; oth-
erwise the foods will not be evenly cooled
throughout the refrigerator.
Do not place food directly in front of
cold air outlet. This may lead to the
food freezing.
FOR BEST FREEZING
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly stored or covered and the air should
be removed to seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.

Switching off your refrigerator

If you switch your refrigerator off when you are going away for
an extended period, remove all food, clean the interior thoroughly.
Remove the power cord plug from the power socket and leave
all doors open.
• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expan-
sion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during
cooling.
• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and con-
traction of internal parts.
IT IS NORMAL
that the outside of a cabinet may be hot when
touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew
generation.
